A Great Success.

1t is always pleasure to record the success of
business enterprise. and especially gratifying to
do so i'll these times when it requires more than
ordinary ability in business man to reach the
topmost round of the ladder We are living in
age in which every resource and energy are
taxed to their utmost The man who succeeds
cannot afford to hold back and wait for trade to
be waited to him on the wings of the wind. Not
a bit of it. He must labor for patronage. In
the first place he must be good buyer and must
also thoroughly understand the needs of the
community. and then supply that want in fullest
measure. But that is not all. He must inform
the public by a judicious. unstinted of print
ers ink what he has to sell in a way which shall
attract attention. Some of the journal readers,
especially those residing on the South Side, will
remember the 8x12 room on South Illinois street
(which looked more like child's play house than
a real business room that was occupied little
more than two years ago by NJ. NJ Williams.
the now leading grocer of indianapolis. 1t is
needless to recount the rapid progress of this
young and enterprsing business man. A visit
TO his extensive grocery and family supply house.
Nos. 81 and 80 West Washington street is all
the proof needed evidence Of his business
push and vim. He is the most extensive adver-
tiser in his line in the city, and a consequence
his trade is CORES pondingly greater than his
competitors. The new year starts out most au-
spiciousy for him. and in his commod lous quar-
ters he will doubtless add thousands of new
patrons before the close of 1887.

A WOMAN'S QUEST.
Mrs. Kirby Shoughnessy and Her Experience
with Faith-Cure Doctor.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK. JAM IA woman is making
round of the law Offices trying in vain to get
good lawyer to take up her case. Dr. Pelig Van
Aurslin is physician of the faithcure school,
Six months ago he opened house at Sixth
avenue and Thirty ninth street. He became a
bright light in the growing circle of Christian
scientists. Among his ardent followers were
Mr. and Mrs. Kirby Shoughnessy. The man
was treated for an affection of the spine. and
the woman for confirmed belief that she was
i'll. Mrs. Shoushnessy soon decided that she
was no longer ill, but Mr.. Shoughnessy died.
The Doctor, who is wdower. limited that she
would make an excellent wife for faithcGrer.
She though she saw through the scheme at once.
Instead of being pleased with the proposition
she gave him a highly seasoned piece of her
mind and has been distributing other pieces OF it
around among the Christian scientist brethren
and sisters ever since. ''The vile creature killed
my husband, she declares solemnly and en-
phaticaly because he wanted to marry ma.
lie could have cured the poor man as easily as
he cured me. and if he can cure people. he can
certainly kill them. too" One lawyer objected
that as Dr. Van Aurslin had given her husband
no medicine he could not be guilty of murder
but she replied that as it is easier to cure with
out medicine than with it, so also, it must be
easier to kill NO" she says, 'he has my hus-
bands blood upon his hands just as much as if
he had cut his throat or poured poison into I'm
How did he do it! Why, by simply fixing in his
mind the idea that the poor man must die. He
carried it there for days and days. and nv
poor. dear husband gradually faded away under
it. He could kill any of US who have the faith
in him that Mr.. Shoughnessy did in that same
way And now the dreadful creature wants me
to marry him. I'd like to hang him, and I'll
bring him to justice if it takes all the rest OF my
life u

what careful attention to business and tireless
